Okay, we feel you. FMFA 2015 got cancelled. But that doesn’t mean that this week isn’t going to be HUGE. Peep our pick of happenings to see why!
GET MYTHIC WITH CLAPTONE @ VELVET UNDERGROUND – DANCE, 14 MARCH
The last time we knocked on his door, Claptone told us that, “over the hundreds of years that [he] has been in existence, [he’s] seen many changes and always had to adapt”. But he found that there was one undeniable fact that remained constant throughout the ages: “the power of rhythm to move us all”. This will be a big, big night.
ONE DIRECTION! @SINGAPORE INDOOR STADIUM, 11 MARCH
Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson , Niall Horan and of course, Harry Styles, need no introduction. In an age that couldn’t be more removed from the cheesiest pop cultural phenomenon ever, the boy band, these boys have the world eating out of their hands now. Head over for a reminder of why and count yourself blessed if it ain’t sold out.
BRO DOWN WITH INCUBUS @ THE COLISEUM, HARD ROCK HOTEL, 9 MARCH
Even if they could help it, Incubus never really checked themselves throughout a career of making thoughtful but masculine pop-rock that every bro amongst us has sworn to at some point in his life. And whether you’re a bro or not, we’re sure you can agree that Incubus know their way around a great hook, pop or rock. So, get your tickets and go catch some feels with the bros today.
GET FAR OUT AT FAR NIENTE @ CIRCULAR ROAD, 11 MARCH
When dancefloor alchemists Kilowatt Soundsytem throw a block party in one of the most popping blocks here, you know it’s gonna be fire. Jazz, trip-hop, and exotica, funk, disco, and Latin beats, will be the sounds that’ll take you through your dip into the gastronomic exotica provided by MARCO MARCO, Gong Singapore and plus 39 gleato bar. See, all boxes checked.
CELEBRATE COCKTAILS AT SINGAPORE COCKTAIL WEEK @VARIOUS LOCATIONS, FROM NOW TILL 14 MARCH
We said “celebrate” for a reason. For lovers of the deceptively light, sometimes fruity and always fun creation that is the cocktail, this will be a week-long immersion in the making and drinking of it – a celebration of the art and taste of it. Hit up this space for more deets. As always, celebrate responsibly.
DRINK TO ST. PADDY’S DAY @ VARIOUS LOCATIONS, NOW TILL 17 MARCH
Guinness is called “black gold” for reasons that are more than metaphorical. You already know the food-drink-and-dance glories you can expect at this age-old Irish revel, so we’ll say no more and direct you here for the wheres and whens.
WATCH CHAPPIE
Here’s the thing about this latest Neil Blomkamp ‘do: it blows. But that makes it perfect for Bad Movie night. Also, Hugh Jackman and Anderson Cooper star alongside Die Antwoord. And that’s bound to be a thrill ride, eh?
